The first week of your journey through Internet game programming
with Java covers a lot of territory. You begin by learning the
basics about Internet games and how Java impacts them, along with
an object-oriented Java programming primer. You then jump into
the basics of graphics in games and the support Java provides
for working with graphics. You then cover the most crucial topic
of the entire book-sprite animation. You use this animation knowledge
to finish up the week with an interesting animated simulator-Sim
Tarantula.
